Betting on Benfica
Benfica is currently enjoying a fantastic run in their league, where they sit at the top with an impressive record of 23 wins, two draws, and only two losses. They currently have 71 points, which puts them seven points ahead of their closest rival, Porto.
Their great performance is reflected in their attack and defense, scoring 68 goals and conceding only 16. They are the highest-scoring team and have conceded the least number of goals in the Portuguese football league.
They have also replicated this excellent form in the Champions League, where they topped their group, which included the mighty PSG. Their stats in this competition are equally impressive, having scored 23 goals and only conceding eight so far. Benfica is definitely on a roll, and it will be exciting to see how far they can go with this kind of form. Who knows, they might just be the team to beat this season!
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1):Odysseas Vlachodimos; Alexander Bah, Nicolás Otamendi, António Silva, Grimaldo; Chiquinho, Frederik Aursnes; João Mário, Rafa Silva, David Neres; Gonçalo Ramos.
Betting on Inter Milan
Inter Milan has had a bit of a rough time during the current Serie A campaign, ranking fifth with 51 points and still fighting to enter an international tournament. In addition, out of their last five league matches, they have only won one, despite facing teams at the bottom of the standings like Spezia and Salernitana.
Their performance in the Champions League has been similar, but they managed to reach the round of 16. Although they qualified second in their group, leaving Barcelona behind, their performance against Porto in the previous round was not the best, as they were eliminated by a 1-0 score, defending with everything they had to hold on to their advantage.
Statistically speaking, the Italian team has managed to maintain a small balance between their attack and defense. In the current Champions League season, they have scored 11 goals and conceded seven, reflecting how tight and competitive their matches have been.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): André Onana; Danilo D’Ambrosio, Stefan de Vrij, Francesco Acerbi; Denzel Dumfries, Nicolò Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco; Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martínez.
JefeBet Prediction
As for the stats, and considering their current form in their respective leagues, Benfica is in better shape to face the quarter-finals. The Portuguese team has shown great strength, especially in their offensive power.
On the other hand, Inter already knows how to achieve a good result in Portugal, having held on for a draw to eliminate Porto. However, Benfica has better tools to break through the Italian defensive lock. That’s why for this Benfica vs Internazionale matchup, at JefeBet, we’re expecting a home victory.
Prediction: Moneyline of Benfica (BEN 1-0 INT).
